When heated, it begins to melt, and it freezes up again when it&#8217;s cold. This frequent change of condition reflects its lack of durability. In contrast, the Thermosetting (fiberglass) will remain stable and does not change its shape, however hot or cold it gets. Moreover, the resin used in manufacturing fiberglass also contains UV resistance properties. This will prevent UV in sunlight from destroying the molecular structure of fiberglass products or causing them to decay and fade too quickly. Thus, the service life of the product is extended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays, fiberglass has become a great alternative for molding various types of products.
